Possible "Mercy/Suicide" In Philadelphia


"PHILADELPHIA, PA — Detectives are investigating a possible murder-suicide involving a 34-year-old man in a wheelchair and a 63-year-old woman found shot to death Wednesday afternoon in the city's Logan section.

"Police responding to a call about 2:10 p.m. in the 4500 block of North 19th Street found the man shot in the chest and the woman shot in the head. They were both pronounced dead at the scene.

"A gun was recovered at the scene, police said."

  1. Lacking any other info on this story, at first blush it sounds like a mother killing her disabled son before killing herself.

  2. wrong...this blog is incorrect...the female was in her 40's and the man in the wheelchair was her boyfriend who was in his mid 30's. Allegedly, he shot her and then shot himself...the matter is still being investigated.

    1. I don't write this stuff. Everything is cut from real world news reports. If you hit the link, you will see it still hasn't been corrected.

      I hate bad reportage, too. Trust me, I see it all the time.

      I'd fix it but I'm lazy. :o)
